Watch the ways of this forum when a system war breaks out in the middle of a thread. I'm know here as an Xbot, and I've been out of these arguments for a while now. However, it's the same characters that fly to the scene and apply the full court press for their system of choice. It's like they are on call like a doctor.
1. Price
2. Not many titles available right now that grabs my interest (many are on PC), although are coming.
3. A few good GC titles I haven't finished, and plenty of excellent PC and PS2 titles to play
4. I think when Wii is released Virtual Console will occupy me for a long time too.

You're not an xbot, you're "buy every game that comes out next month" guy.

Well I don't read many xbox topics, or system topics. So he's "buy lots of stuff" bot to me!

Lack of games.
At the moment I'd only buy Kameo and maybe Oblivion. Later this year, when Dead Rising and RS Vegas are out, I'm buying a 360.

i think that still qualifies as fun, but not 60 dollars of fun.

fun to cost ratio is about as fast as the game's refresh rate!
Because XBox 360 is basically just for graphical updates on previous games. That would require a HD TV, which I don't have and won't get one for a long time. The system is very expensive, and most importantly, there's basically no games for the system either. I don't really care much about FPSs, especially generic mindless shooters, I don't really care much about racing games, nor sports games. That takes away like 90% of XBox 360 games. There's really no platformers or adventure games, nor Japanese RPGs or RPGs in general (Oblivion is the only exception, it could be nice, though I could buy it for PC when I'll upgrade my computer). And it doesn't seem very suitable for multiplayer/party games, which works best in offline (playing in the same room). The last thing is that I wouldn't have time for it anyway. (EDIT: yeah, size and noise are also huge minuses, also the durability has me concerned quite a bit)
So at the moment, for me there is NO reason to buy XBox 360.

Just to clarify the first bit - nope, wrong. I'm playing Oblivion on a 27" CRT and it's utterly amazing, way, way better than anything last gen. HD might make it better, but it's pretty stunning in SD.SuomiDude said:Because XBox 360 is basically just for graphical updates on previous games.

He was being sarcastic.
No Final Fantasy, no Metal Gear, no Devil May Cry.
Before anyone yells "LOL! XBOX HATER!" - those are the games I bought PS2 for.
If FF/ DQ hits the Xbox 360 I'll simply buy one. I don't care for it's ports of PC games, I want exclusive, varied content which includes japanese, high-profile games.
Currently there is only one game that Xbox 360 is worth buying for - PGR3. Everything else is on PC, redundancy FTL.
Fellow PC gamers know that money isn't the problem - CONTENT is.
EDIT: WTF olimario is back?

Syb said:Where are you guys buying your games from? You should do some shopping around, the 360 can be had for something like $618 at some places (dont know if thats still on), etc, etc,
All my 360 titles have been had for $80-90 (59-66 USD)...
I saw the $618 at myer stocktake sale a couple of weeks ago but dunno if it's still on. $618 is still pretty dear for me. I'll wait till tax returns come in get one.... maybe.
where are you getting your games from?
In order most to least importance:
- No "must have" games
- No "kinda want" games
- Price
- Poor BC (I never had an XBox)
- Didn't like the XBox, 360 looks like a carbon copy
- Unconvinced about HD gaming and HD content in general
- No free online
- Apparently dodgy hardware
- The fact that it's made by MS and I think they'd be better suited to making online system software for other consoles
Overall it's another XBox, poor unoriginal games that I've played before on PS2, at least this time it doesn't use a misshaped house brick as a controller. Focus is on online gaming, which I don't enjoy unless it's to play friends who are far away, and none of them own a 360.
Although I was all about Wii60, I'm starting to think it's going to be Wii only this gen, I'll probably change my mind once GTA/PES/MGS next-gen are released which I realise makes me a huge hypocrite.

I just havent picked one up yet because I don't need it. When Too Human and Bioshock hit the platform, consider me sold.

Poor man's PC is right--no way am I dealing with all the technical issues of running games on PCs. I've been through that nightmare before, and I'm never going back.

When alot of hyped games on your system are also PC games, you don't need to market it as one for some to see it that way. Samething happened with the Xbox.
